I saw Kushner’s Albania resort up close — it is an environmental disaster

On May 7, 2026, conservation experts, including the author, stumbled upon a vast illegal construction site in the heart of the protected Vjosa delta in Albania. Excavators were tearing up the beach, trucks dumping gravel and cutting roads through ancient dunes and pine forest, with no permits posted. The author immediately alerted Prime Minister Edi Rama, the European Commission, and the press. The NGO PPNEA led multiple protests on May 15, 26, and 30 against the project linked to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law.
